JB and the Siilanyu admin he works for are shook to death from this news. That's shy he is making confused statements.

Dad rayid ah ayaa weeraray saaka saldhig milatari oo ay ciidamada Somaliland ku lahaayeen bariga magaalada Hargeysa waxaana halkaas ka dhaca iska horimaad xoogan oo geystey qasaare isugu jira dhimasho iyo dhaawac. Weerarkan lagu qaaday xerada madaafiicda goobta ee magaalada Hargeysa ayaa la sheega in lagu diley shankamid ah ciidamada saldhigaas ku sugnaa iyo labo ruux oo rayidkii soo weeraray xerada. Hase yeeshee iska horimaadkan ayaa waxaa lagu qabqabtay illaa iyo 28ruux oo loo haysto inay ahaayeen dadkii ka dambeeyey weerarkan waxaana ka mid ahaa dadkaas la qabqabtay siddeed ruux oo rayid ah kuna dhaawacmay iskahorimaadka. Dagaalkan ayaa dhacay sida la sheegay kadib markii dad sheeganayay lahaanshaha dhul ay degen yihiin ciidamada madaafiicda ee magaalada Hargeysa. Dad u hadlay dadka weerarka qaaday ayaa sheegay in ay isku dayeen in ay si nabad ah ku helaan dhulkaas ay ciidamada xoogga uga degeen hase yeeshee laga diidey. Xaalada ayaa degen hase yeeshee waxaa jira weli cabsi laga qabo in dagaalkan uu noqdo mid soo noqda maadaama aan weli xal laga gaarin sababta keentay iskahorimaadka.

XX I welcome the new found love for unity. The ideal is for a unified Somalia. How we get there we differ slightly, but as long as our secessionists have given up on the delusions of independence for the NW regions is the important point. It's a most wonderful development. Keep it up lads the war is over now we are searching for the soul of the republic.

We have been waiting for decades. Insha Allah good news is coming for the entire Somali race regardless where hey are located...

What is clan federalism ? Also a unitary Somalia based on the 18 regions with NW Regiona part of the package is a great idea. No more nonsense about British Colonial borders. It's a step in the right direction. However all one is observing are the crocodile tears of the secessionists who seem even more confused lately.

* inShare 2 Email Range Resources rallies on Puntland report, retains 'buy' rating at Fox-Davies - UPDATE 10:15 am by Sergei Balashov Shares in Range Resources rallied 5.5pct on the Puntland update, while broker Fox-Davies repeated its 'buy' recommendation on the stock Range Resources (LON:RRL) surged in early trade on a positive update from its drilling campaign in Puntland, Somalia, while broker Fox-Davies Capital advised investors to buy the stock. Range and partner Red Emperor Resources (LON:RMP) told investors that the Shabeel-1 well is now down to 3,425 metres and has confirmed the existence of a 150 metre gross section of oil and possible net pay of 12 to 20 metres. The update also revealed that oil shows had been found in deeper lying sandstone which are currently being drilled. “A testing programme including the zones discovered to date and any deeper potential pay zones encountered will be agreed with the operator upon total depth being reached,” Range said in a release to the market this morning. Shares in the AIM quoted oil explorer climbed 5.5 percent to reach 9.84 pence by 10 AM, giving it a market cap of £223.5 million. Fox-Davies cheered the update, repeating its ‘buy’ recommendation on Range with a target price of 27 pence per share in a note titled “Puntland looking like a better Punt”. “Firstly it raises the potential that we may have a commercial discovery, and secondly, it increases the prospectivity of the remaining targets in the exploration portfolio,” Fox-Davies said in the note. Drilling will continue down to 3,800 metres. The primary and secondary targets are believed to be in Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic intervals that are equivalent to the main productive section seen in similar fields in Yemen. Once the well is complete it is planned that the rig will move onto the Shabeel North location, where construction is nearing completion for the second well, it added.

Chinese giant corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), has also been granted legal permission from Somalia to drill for oil, which, in and by itself, is yet another proof of China’s desperate need for alternative energy sources other than those from the Middle East. Similarly, India has started making approaches to get a piece of the Somalia oil. New Delhi has proposed to train the future Somalia army, increased its trade ties with Somalia, and integrated Somalia into its e-network “to prop and increase” Somalia’s IT capacity. British Petroleum, finally, is in talks with the Putland authorities to gain exploration rights and has already unveiled an initiative to support job-creation projects in the coastal regions of Somalia. Given Somalia’s geostrategic location and proximity to strategic waters in the Horn of Africa, there are good reasons to be optimistic that if adequate amount of oil is found, Somalia could, over the medium term, become a major trading hub and an attractive destination for foreign investment. There is no public infrastructure to speak of and the means of transportation are literally nonexistent. Discovery of oil as well as its need for large-scale infrastructure projects, in essence, will catalyse what human suffering over the last 20 years has failed to do: a genuine push by the international community to put an end into Somalia’s social, political, and economic problems. http://gulfnews.com/opinions/columnists/oil-can-be-a-boon-for-somalia-1.1015422 Wonderful stuff. Thanks Xiin.

It's a blatant personal attack on the Governor of Banadir. It should be deleted by the admin.'also the poster should be ashamed of himself..

We have wasted decades on mindless nonsense, we shall not waste anymore. Puntland is part of Somalia and as such should conduct itself accordingly. A strong Mogadishu is beneficial to all Somali's. Sharing national resources is also important to all Somali's. The spoilers regardless of what region or political stance should be isolated.

Nonsense on the part of the Faroole admin. They are making much ado about nothing. The central government must have correct powers and that regulate the nation.

Nonsense.

The transition must end and Somalia needs to move into a new era of development & peace.

Faroole can not oppose the end of the transition. The people of Puntland as a whole will oppose him.

They are just talking its all hot air. Even their general IndaCade has changed his tune.

Not enough people came out. Thus they had to cancel it. Shame really.

Culumaa'udiin iyo qeybaha ururada Bulshada rayidka oo maalmihii la soo dhaafay ay qaban qaabinayeen banaan bax ballaaran oo maalinimada Jimcaha ka dhaca Muqdisho, kaasoo looga soo horjeedo Dastuurka ayaa maanta la baajiyay. Sheekh Axmed Dhicisow oo ah Madaxa Majmaca Culimada Soomaaliyed oo labo cisho ka hor ka iclaamiyay Idaacadaha Muqdisho in Jimcaha banaan bax ballaaran ka dhigi doonaan Muqdisho ayaa sheegay inay dib u dhigeen. "Maanta dib ayaa u dhignay banaan bixii aan qaban laheyn, shacabka waxaan u sheegeynaa inaan qaban doono maalmo kale"ayuu yiri Sheekh Axmed Dhicisow oo aan cadeyn sababaha ay dib ugu dhigeen. Inkastoo aanu cayimin mudada ay qabanayaan banaan baxa, ayaa hadana waxaa uu Sheekhu cadeeyay mowqifkooda ku wajahan sida ay uga soo horjeedaan Dastuurka in la ansixiyo. Maalin ka hor ayay aheyd markii shir ballaaran oo ka dhacay Hotelka Saxafi lagu shaaciyay in Dastuurka qodobadii ay ka tabanayeen wax laga bedelay, iyadoo hadalkan uu sheegay Yuusuf Indha Cadde oo ka mid ahaa Kooxaha diidanaa Dastuurka oo isugu jiray, Siyaasiyiin, Xildhibaano iyo qeybaha bulshada. Hase ahaatee Culimada Soomaaliyed iyo qaar ka mid ah Ururada Bulshada ayaa aad u diidan Dastuurka la doonayo in dhowaan la ansixiyo, waxaana soconaya kulamo lagu xalinayo cabashada Culimada oo madaxda dowladda ay

Read this letter in Shabelle.net a few days ago. Thus far it seems it's not genuine, Puntland State is not against the road map or this constitution. The transition will end insha Allah.

AUN.It is a shock to hear of Abdihaye's death. I knew him very well back in the old days in London, he was a calm and thoughtful individual who listened to others and always had a smile on his face. May Allah have mercy on him & to his family & friends strength in this most difficult time.

Masha Allah. Paragon is getting accustomed in MPLS this man does not lack contacts in the Cities

Don't mind the naysayers. Things are looking up for Somalia at last.

AUN, he was a warm wonderful man. A man of great intellect and poise. He will be missed greatly in our part of the world. May Allah SWT give him mercy & strength to his family at this time.

Let's not throw the baby with the bathwater. The failed political "elite" have no ground to stand on. We should develop what works and shelve what has failed. Greater development of regional states and develoution of power works. Centralissam and writing articles in the comfort of the west.

A man with the weight of history on his shoulders....

Taking notes in Mogadishu, this is not Nairobi lads, so listen carefully..
